Since my devices no longer let me download books (as of June 2024), I have no access to the old purchases except with Nook web. I do not have Nook App that was removed from Microsoft store.
Another question... If I buy a Kobo, will I need to do a lot to set it up? I have been reading about adding "patches" and I assume the patches are to help the Kobo run better for the owner. It may be better for me to get an Android like Onyx Boox, but I really liked the idea of repairing and adding new batteries to the 3 newest Kobos. (I Fix It) I love the Right to Repair movement.
And only the Boox will let me have access to my undownloaded Nook books, right? I refuse to buy another Nook or their books since they took away my right to download. I know the devices were old, but they did not have to stop the downloading part....just stop upgrading it and let it die a natural life. My batteries still lasted a couple of weeks on a charge.
Thanks, everyone. I may have more questions.

Ouch. I assumed Nook still lets customers download the books. Calibre can still help you, just figure out how to use it. Once you set it up, it should work without problems. Amazon still has transfer books via USB so at least those can be downloaded.
Kobo can work right out of the box, just need to register. Patches can be installed later if you want, but it's personal preference.
